1962 Map of Bellefonte

About this map

Bellefonte serves as the industrial and civic heart of this Central Pennsylvania corridor during the early 1960s, its dense street grid punctuated by the County Hospital, the Armory, and several Quarries. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridge of Bald Eagle Mountain, which separates the limestone-rich valley floor from the complex hydrology of Spring Creek and the Bald Eagle Creek. Local industry and conservation efforts coexist, evidenced by the proximity of Strip Mines and Shale Pits to the Fish Hatchery and the recreationally named Fishermans Paradise.
